The Rule of the MINORITY.

For ten years or more there has been dis
position ON the part of those who desire to
be regarded as the exclusives in politics and
the entire Democratic party to both ridicule
and and denounce those who have insisted
upon keeping the wrong of the suppression
OF suffrage in certain States before the coun.
try as sectionalists and waivers of the bloody
shirt. This was expected from the Demo.
cratic orators and newspapers, because the
managers of that party, North or South,
East or West, have in nearly every large city
where they have been in power resorted to
ballot box frauds. We do not say that all
Democratic voters are willing to resort to
frauds to obtain victories, far from it; but
we do say that the managers of the party
machinery in every part of the country have
never hesltated to esort to all manner of ir-
regularlties and frauds to carry their points,
But the Democratic championship of the
suppression OF suffrage in the South would
not nave been effective had not large num-
Der OF so-called Independents and reformers
given the shotgun policy their countenance
and support during the past ten years. We
can now begin to realize the evils which have
come from the approval of silence on this
subject Year after year the vote of the
South has fallen off as Republicans have
come to understand that their party votes
Will be counted out, and as Democrats have
come to know that their party ticket will be
declared elected whether they voted or did
not ilS vote. AS striking example of the rap
ia decline OF voting let us take South Caro-
ma, where in 1882 the vote for Congress was
l2l;399 in 1884 90,6S9, and in 1886 it had fall
en- to S9,072. In Georgia there were only two
candidates for Congress in opposition to the
Democrats. But the lesson can be better en-
forced by the figures. The total vote for for
representatives to Congress in five Southern
States was as follows:

America cannot be said to be wholly in the
Srear in the general rivalry for improved
weapons Of defence and offence The pneu-
matte dynamite gun is an American inven-
ton which promises, at least for short dis
tances, to be able to afford speedy and sure
humiliation to all corners, whether they be
regiments or fleets. Saturday one of these
guns was tested at Fort Lafayette, New
York harbor, in the presence Of q party of
army and naval officers The gun used is
the third one of the kind that has been
made. The first one was two inches across
tne muzzle and carried twelve and one-half
pounds OF explosives. The second one was
Tour inches across the muzzl-, carrying
twenty-five pounds Of explosives This one
is eight inches in diameter, and able to carry
one hundred pounds of dynamite and nitro
gelatine The gun is the same STYLE nc tba
ones which will be furnished for the new
dynamite cruiser now being built by Cramn
d Sons of Philadelphia, only the new guns
will be ten and 0ne-half inches at the mllzzle
and will have capacity of 800 pounds Of
explosives. 1t is forty feet long, and is said
to resemble a great mounted telescope.
Four shots were fired Saturday. The first
two, SLTlkIuB AT tDo uioLdHcc Ol nile, eX-
ploded with a fearful commotion of the
waters. The third shot was not successful,
as the cartridge broke at the beginning of its
course; at the fourth shot the projectile did
not explode, but is thought to have trayersed
distance of three miles. The explosions
which attended the first two shots are de-
scribed as very remarkable, huge columns Of
water being thrown into the air as at the
explosion at Hell Gate. Lieutenant Zalinski,

The Haddock murder trial is now pnder
way in Sioux City, Iowa. This is one of the
most famous cases that has ever arisen in
connection with the enforcement of LIQUOR
laws. The tragedy in which it originated is
remembered and will be remembered for
many years over large part of the West as
an objectionable crime of the saloon keen
ers. Rev. George G. Haddock was pastor Of
the First Methodist Episcopal Church of
Sioux City; and, like many other clergymen
OF his church the country over, was an earn
est and incorporating enemy of the sa-
loon keepers. Largely through his efforts in
securing the enforcement of the Iowa ipiunc-
ton law the saloons of Sioux City were hay
lnga hard time last summer, and the keepers
were consequently exasperated On the eve
ming OF August 3rd, Mr.. Haddock went To a
suburb of Sioux City to see about the en-.
f0rcement of the law. On his return he WINS
met in one of the main streets of the CITY and
shot down. 1t was about 10 o'clock in the
evening, the street lights were burning. and
nine men, all of whom are believed to have
been conspirators, saw the deed. These
nine men were brewers, saloon keepers or
their sympathizers. All but two or three of
them were afterwards arrested, although all
but one, named Arensdorf, who is believed
to have done the shooting, were subsequent
ly released on heavy BAIL The interest in
Iowa over this trial is intense. Mr.. Had
dock is looked upon as martyr in the cause
Of temperance; and the feeling against the
liquor men is very bitter But the infiu-
ence of the latter is considerable yet, and
Arensdorf is not lacking spirited and able
defence

the Second District, which is nearly 500 votes
IN excess of the number which elected seven
Representatives in Mississippi Mississinni
and Georgia elected IL Representatives with
66,562 votes, but 1t took nearly N. 600 votes To

representatives represents total vote of
5SzU9l, While each Representative from
Georgia. represents 2749 votes. That is, if
Georgla's vote was the basis of representa-
ton, Maine would have forty-seyen instead
OF four representatives. AS that is not the
basis, 1t is practical fact that one voter in
Georgia elects as much of CONGRESSMAN as
DO twelve in Maine. In the entire New
England States there are not half a dozen
districts which do not cast more votes than
were polled to elect ten representatives in
Georgia. Again, voting is so much out of
fashion in the States referred to that in TWEEN
ty-hye congressional districts there was
practically no opposition to the Democratic
candidates, and in several of them there was
not scattering vote against the Democratic
aspirants. These districts are as follows:
